Get to know your Ohio State Representatives and Senators and let them know where you stand on pro-life issues.  This Ohio Government page lets your search for the contact information for your specific representative by your zip code.   The same is true for identifying your US Representatives and your US Senators through these sites. Often, the GTRTL needs your help in being a voice for the voiceless and letting our political representatives know there are many of us in the Greater Toledo area that want their votes and actions to reflect the pro-life mission to value all LIFE.  Your phone calls matter!

The maps in this link illustrate progress in the states on key pro-life laws. GTRTL works to educate legislators and the general public about the benefits of such laws in building a culture of life – where every human life is valued just for being; not conditional upon its usefulness to others or to the state.
